  • I use to think it wasn't important but now that I'm older and more experienced I think it very important, I'm in a 4 year relationship and lack of passion is one of the biggest reasons it's falling apart now. Not much is worse than feeling unwanted or feeling undesired. Plus it only opens the door for wondering eyes. I don't think cheating is right regardless but it's only natural for someone to start desiring someone else if they don't feel desired by their lover. My desire started to drift about a year ago and my relationship has never been the same since. I would never cheat but the need to be touched and feel the physical manifestion of love is strong and relentless.

    • Are we dating the same guy? Lol But seriously, sex has been once every other week to once a month since day one. He loves to cuddle, snuggle, hold me, but I Need intimacy. Lots of fights, it's to the point my eyes are wondering, but I don't wanna leave a basically great relationship. It's hard, because I Need it more, he seems to need it a lot less. I don't feel close to him as I used to. Be is much different than my ex's.

    • This sounds a lot like my relationship too. Low sex drive from day one. We did fight about it a lot in the beginning but after two years or so of fighting about I just gave up and let everything slide because I got tired of repeating myself and begging for the things I needed. For the last year I've been talking about leaving seriously. I grew a crush on a coworker who doesn't even like me back but the fact that I would have probably dropped everything if the feelings were reciprocated shows how broken our relationship had become. Now I'm trying to leave because despite the fact I'm attached to him emotionally I'm just not getting what I need and I don't feel like I can be with someone like that for the rest of my life without feeling regret or cheating once I've finally hit the final wall.

    • I'm about to hit my wall, too. Which sucks because he is a great man but he won't really, talk about it, and gets frustrated saying my nagging makes him, not want to. So I'm just not trying. I too have a crush that i, think would totally go for it, but he, knows I have a boyfriend. Plus i, kinda feel bad but, not as much as I should.

  • Sex is pretty important in my eyes. It's one of those things you only do with your significant other. That makes it special. Being human though, we all have a drive to have a sexual release on occasion and more so for others. The amount of sex you have should be based off of how much you and your significant other would like to do it, it's only an issue when you're on different pages on how much you would like and then it can cause one or the other to feel pushed to do more than they like or that their sexual needs are not being met.

  • Depends on the couple. I think its important to be with someone who has a similar sex drive to you.

    For me, its important. Besides sexual gratification, it maintains intimacy and emotional connection.

  • For me it's pretty important, but so is all kinds of intimacy, and not just sex.

  • As long as you're fine with it, it's super important. If you wanna have more of a bonding session then I suggest sex, it can let you have physical pleasure and a good way to learn more about them. It can also be emotional

  • Very important... a lot of people say its not, until they're not getting it, or they're not getting it right. I've been in that situation a few times and each one fell apart. Once I actually ended up cheating and the time after that, I didn't want to cheat anymore so I had to leave...

  • Sex isn't everything, but it's a great way to connect with a partner. For a lot of guys, it's their best emotional outlet in a relationship.
